PROTECT: Spaces across the UK marking Armistice centenary

Over the course of the Centenary Fields Legacy campaign, in partnership with The Royal British Legion's 'Thank You' initiative, many of the spaces featured have been marking their inclusion by holding remembrance events on their day.

Events held have been diverse and have included: a Walk of Thanks at Grange Park in Old Coulsdon; unveiling of a Victoria Cross Commemorative Paving Stone for Frederick Birks VC MM at Coronation Gardens in Buckley; display of a prototype of a new remembrance installation called 'Sacrifice' at Belper Memorial Gardens; and as recently as Sunday the unveiling of a new statue, entitled 'Lions of the Great War', as a new memorial to soldiers from the Indian sub-continent who served in the British armed forces.

As we approach Armistice Day on Sunday many spaces are taking the opportunity to unveil their Centenary Fields plaques alongside other remembrance activities. Listed below are just some of the events taking place on Centenary Fields on and in the run-up to Remembrance Day, in addition to the memorial events which will be taking place on spaces across the country.
